Henricpetri, Adam.
General Historien der aller namhaftigsten unnd fürnembsten Geschichten, Thaten und Handlungen, so sich bey Übergebung und Ende des Großmechtigsten Keyser Carols des Fünfften, und anfange Ferdinanden seines Bruders Regierung: nemlich vom jar M. D. LV [...]. Basel, Sebastian Henricpetri, (1577).
Folio (215 x 306 mm). (24), DCXV, (1) pp. Title printed in red and black. With 46 woodcut illustrations in the text (3 double-page-sized, including 11 portraits) and a folding map of Hungary. Contemporary full vellum with handwritten spine title. First edition of this fundamental historical work. The lawyer and historian Adam Henricpetri (1543-86) covers the events accompanying the end of the reign of Holy Roman Emperer Charles V. and the beginning of his brother Ferdinand I.'s reign over a period of seven years, from 1555 to 1561. The volume is considered a prominent example of 16th century historiography and the fact that the author was a contemporary of Charles V. makes it all the more authentic. Each book treats one year and informs the reader not only about the history of the Holy Roman Empire but also about Italian, French, Spanish, Hungarian, Danish, Swedish, Polish, Russian, Indian and Turkish history. The woodcut illustrations show, among other scenes, the long procession taking place for Charles V.'s funeral service in Brussels. The highlight of this service was a grand allegorical ship representing all of Charles' merits, which is shown as a double-paged illustration. The woodcuts also include a scene from the Spanish Inquisition, the Parisian parliament, some views of European cities and portraits of important persons. - Ownership by Joh. Pet. Baikes, dated 1883. - Variously browned, slightly stained, otherwise in excellent condition. - From the library Werner Habel, with his ownership stamp to flyleaf. BM-STC German 392. Nicht bei Adams.

40 p. + Frontis and text illustrations. 12mo. Original full cloth binding, stamped in gold. Original dust jacket. One of 750 copies privately printed by George Grady Press, New York for George Zabriskie as a Christmas greeting.

George Albert Zabriskie (1860-1954) was President of the New York Historical Society from 1939-1947, and Honorary President from 1948 until his death in 1954.

Heyden, Sebald.
Musicae, id est, artis canendi libri duo. Nuremberg, Johann Petreius, 1537.
4to. (8), 115, (1) pp. With armorial title woodcut, several initials and numerous music notes in the text. Contemporary limp vellum with manuscript spine title. Wants ties. Extremely rare first edition of one of the most important of all classic works of musical theory, a book that enjoyed a high reputation even during the author's lifetime. In contrast to his first treatise, the 1532 "Musicae stoicheiosis" which treats exclusively "musica figurata", or polyphony, his present, second work is more comprehensive and more clearly written, though limited "to matters concerning musical compositions withount discussion of purely theoretical matters. This publication was outstanding for its many examples, drawn, according to the author's prefatory statement, from the works of the best and most renowned composers - Josquin, Obrecht, La Rue, Isaac, Brumel, Ghiselin - not only as the most useful examples but also as demonstrations of great music. The examples are presented mostly without texts or with incipits only" (New Grove). "Heyden s'est fait particulièrement connaître d'une manière avantageuse par un livre [...] ce livre est précieux pour l'histoire de l'art et de la science au seizieme siècle. Dans aucun livre de ce temps, les principes des nuances et de la notation ne sont exposés avec autant de clarté et de concision que dans celui-ci. Les nombreux exemples de Josquin, d'Obrecht, de Senfel, de Henri Isaac, de Ghiselin et d'autres, qui s'y trouvent, avec les résolutions de cas embarassants de l'ancien système de proportions, ajoutent encore au prix de cet ouvrage, qui est malheureusement d'une rareté excessive" (Fétis). All of Petreius's "printed music is of exquisite beauty [...] The printer's glory days began in 1537, with Heyden's highly respected work about choral music" (Cohen, Nürnberger Musikdrucker im 16. Jh., p. 25f.). - Occasional insignificant waterstaining to margins, but altogether a splendidly crisp, wide-margined copy with contemporary handwritten ownership of one "Anastasius de Verona" (erased) on the title page. Of the utmost rarity: a single copy in auction records of the past decades (1968, Hauswedell 158, no. 1246), and a single copy of the 1540 second edition (1942: Schab, cat. 5, no. 113; which is also the only edition kept at Cambridge). BM-STC German 404. Eitner V, 137. RISM (Écrits impr.) 412. Hirsch I, 246. Wolffheim I, 705. Teramoto (Petreius) passim. New Grove VIII, 28.
